Stop & Stare

While a big part of me is ready for a more refined, clean, and simple design in my home, I find that I'm always drawn to homes that are little more funky and have personalty. My home design is all over the place. It's full of hand me downs and eclectic pieces that I buy for my "future home" (since they don't fit in my current space). I think when I eventually move I will aim for a simple design with a few fun elements. I love how these homes have standout pieces that make you stop and stare.

The spaces that look collected over time are the ones that get me! Love that little french side chair with the chevron...a little pattern sure goes a loooong way in the home...great mix! So relaxed and turn key ready!

I’m hosting 5 days of GIVEAWAYS with 5 chances to WIN in honor of my blog’s 2year anniversary! Would love for you to stop by and check it out!

Hope you find the balance of simple and fun you're looking for! I stopped collecting random pieces and decided whatever I buy needed to somehow work with the overall look of the room, but also be special at the same time. :)

I totally agree! My style is all over the place too because my husband makes furniture and he loves restoring old pieces. I love the way you used fashion books to accessorize your home--totally genius =)

I am in that same transition... living in a "for now" rental, dreaming & buying things for a new "grown up" place! I don't have a "decor style" either, but buy things that I love (once I save up), and I can see my vision slowly starting to realize itself!xx
